Global spending in the metaverse could reach $5 trillion by 2030, according to a new report from international consulting firm McKinsey & Company.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Published yesterday, the 77-page report titled \u201cValue Creation in the Metaverse\u201d analyzed current adoption trends and drew additional insight from two global surveys; one gathered data from 3,104 consumers across 11 countries, while the other polled a range of executives from 448 companies across 15 industries in 10 different countries. <\/p>\n
McKinsey used this data to predict that the future of consumer behavior in the metaverse will most likely be divided into five primary activities: gaming, socializing, fitness, commerce and remote learning. <\/p>\n
McKinsey found that nearly 60% of all consumers surveyed prefer at least one activity in the virtual world compared to its physical alternative, and 79% of consumers that are currently active in the metaverse have already made a purchase.<\/p>\n
E-commerce will be the primary cash cow in the metaverse, with McKinsey predicting it to make up anywhere from $2 trillion to $2.6 trillion of all spending by 2030. Virtual advertising will be another major sector, with associated revenue expected to make up another $144 billion to $206 billion.<\/p>\n
Flying in the face of the current pessimism in the conventional crypto market, the report highlights that in the first five months of this year, more than $120 billion has already been invested into metaverse-related technology and infrastructure \u2014 more than double the total $57 billion invested in metaverse tech throughout the entirety of 2021. <\/p>\n
In an associated blog post, the lead authors of the report and McKinsey senior partners, Lareina Yee and Eric Hazan, gave additional comments on their research.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s exciting is that the metaverse, like the internet, is the next platform on which we can work, live, connect, and collaborate.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Speaking about the response from executives, Yee added, \u201cExecutives often don\u2019t agree on very much, but our research shows they overwhelmingly agree on one thing: 95% of them believe the metaverse will have a positive impact on their industry.\u201d<\/p>\n
The report added that 25% of all executives said they expect the metaverse to drive 15% of their organization\u2019s total margin growth in five years and nearly a third of them believe that the metaverse can bring significant change in how their industry operates. <\/p>\n
Despite the overall enthusiasm, there was still a healthy dose of skepticism, with 31% of all executives remaining somewhat uncertain about the return on investment of metaverse experiences. <\/p>\n

While brands should be excited about the opportunities awaiting them in the metaverse, they should also be ready to face challenges head on and do some serious planning, said Hazan. <\/p>\n
\u201cThere are urgent challenges that need to be considered. For one, there\u2019s going to be a need to reskill part of the workforce to take advantage of, rather than compete with, the metaverse. Stakeholders will need to build a roadmap to make sure the metaverse experience is ethical, safe and inclusive.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Yee wrapped up her commentary by re-emphasizing that the metaverse is still very much a dynamic and evolving space. She said that individual creators and big brands alike need to embrace a long-term mindset if they want to be successful in the future of the metaverse. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
